Pax, i just got my first pbem turn from hinz2. it shows in slot 10 after coping to save file. error game did not load. i loaded p7 yesterday. its my first pbem and im sure hinz was up all night doing the jap thing. any ideas?

ZH,

HI!

So, first, you and your partner need to agree on which save slot you will be using. Looks like slot 10 will be the slot for this game. Remember to keep this slot available going forward.

If it isn't loading, here's a couple of things to look at. Others may have some more suggestions:
1. Be sure you are both using the exact same patch. Double check that.
2. Have him re-send the save. If he is zipping the file, have him re-zip and send it.

Let's see what the result is after these two things. Hopefully others will chime in here.

Just noticed that Michael is going to check the save file. He'll be able to tell you what's up pretty quick.

I would ent be so needy about it, but seeing how gracious he was to take me on as a greenhorn and work on the first turn so late last night i feel compelled to get him a turn back and get underway.[:)]
as an afterthought, the patch loaded so easily, how do i verify its running it? i dont see anything in properties.
file sent is unzipped

more info: I did ent notice i had two desktop shortcuts: 1=1106i 2=beta starting the beta (i removed shortcut 1106i) i got a dialogue box y/n about "did not appear to be end turn save" if i hit yes it asked me for a player 1 password. (im player 2?)

when you get to the main menu screen, version number is upper right side. should read: 1.0.6.1108p7

This save is NOT an end-of-turn one, but a mid-turn one.
[It is asking you for player 1's (Japan) password.]
The 'End Orders' button was not pressed and the save done at this stage is the one that needs to be sent to you.

[zuluhour]

big thanks from a big greenhorn!

[zuluhour]

everything seems to be working fine. Your help is greatly appreciated.

[1108p8]
Fixed CTD due to too many groups in base being displayed in bottom panel [MEM]
Tweaked Color-coded R&D devices on the Industry screen [MEM]
Tweaked Allow R&D factory change before starting production if R&D option ON [MEM]
Tweaked Production can be turned off but R&D will still happen [MEM]

When delegating a sub to be a minelayer, is it possible(feasible) to set the default to lay mines at the target hex? I embarrass myself at the number of subs I find returning with all their mines still aboard..(Yes, of course I know I can set it manually, individually, every single time, and that is the problem. Just seems if I tell a skipper to go lay mines, he would know to actually do it!)..LOL

I possibly have a problem here, not sure if it was reported before. When the attached turn was resolves, a number of my night-attacking torpedo planes seemed to be dropping bombs in the combat replay (despite having enough torps at hope bases). According to combat report, they all attacked with torps. No hits was achieved either way. Is this a bug?

Also, my SCTF in Georgetown refuses to move from there for several days now, despite orders. This seems to be a bug.

There was a reason long lost in time why the default is NOT to lay mines. It might be have something to do with not setting the destination - the TF would lay the mines in the base hex.

Save attached.
Also please check BB Mutsu at Kobe.
She has been in dock for two months with the same 15 engine and still shows 115 days to repair. Not seeing any progress.

Could please reattach as a ZIP, thanks.

The animations are splashes - just the way it draws them. Still torpedos.

Weird. The TF says it is loading supplies.




[Workaround]
Change TF to a Transport.
Transfer a AK from port to it.
Press 'Cancel load supplies'.
Transfer AK back to port.
Change back to Surface.
Should be okay then

Hello, this may not look like a big issue but if possible could you save the side that we last chose when we start the game please?
At the moment I m playing japanese and often forget to choose allied computer again when i start the game then end up loading as allied.
Thank you

Thank you for the response michaelm..Now, I gotta wonder...WHO would form a TF and forget to tell it where to go??...LOL

Some changes are definitely shifting game balance in favor of human player in a game vs AI. Stockpiling base feature and purchasing destroyed units, to name a couple. Unless AI scripts were tweaked accordingly.
